Chapter 196: Guessing charades with Changle, appreciating poems, and visiting the night scene
"If you have one in each hand, you have to walk to the other side of the bridge. Then you can tie the red thread on the bridge."
After listening to the old man's words, Changle immediately took out the copper coins and handed them to the old man. He looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Husband, let's try this game."
"But... no matter what kind of red line we choose, there are too many red lines here."
Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "Madam, this red line is so winding and winding that you can't see anything, and if we can see it, it will lose the fun of the game."
"Now we don't know where the two ends of a red line are, so we might as well randomly pick one and leave the result to God to decide."
Chang Le looked at the red threads and couldn't really tell, so he picked one at random. Qin Wenyuan also followed Chang Le and chose a red thread.
The two looked at each other and walked towards the bridge holding hands.
Every step she took, Changle felt extremely uneasy. She really wanted to go back and see if there was even a red line, but there was a road ahead, and so many people couldn't turn back.
Finally, the two of them reached the other side of the bridge and began to tighten the red thread on their hands.
Changle's heart was beating hard, and he was looking forward to this red thread, the one connecting him to his husband Qin Wenyuan.
Not long after, the red thread was almost gathered together. Chang Le and Qin Wenyuan held the ends of the red thread and discovered that their red threads were indeed the same.
Qin Wenyuan, who was originally thinking about how to comfort Changle if it weren't for the same red thread, now had a hint of disbelief on his face.
Changle was so happy that she immediately threw herself into Qin Wenyuan's arms. This result was really good for her.
Qin Wenyuan rubbed Chang Le's head, and the two of them walked hand in hand on the street.
At this time, many people gathered not far from the two of them. Changle suddenly became interested. He looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Husband, let's go over and see what happens."
"Okay." Qin Wenyuan nodded.
After receiving the confirmed answer, Changle immediately pulled Qin Wenyuan into the crowd. It turned out that these people gathered here to guess lantern riddles.
The man on the stage looked at the crowd and said, "If anyone can guess the answer to these two lantern riddles, then this lantern on the stage will be given to the person who guesses it correctly."
Changle looked at the horse-drawn carriage and was filled with joy. The lamp was so beautiful, and the scenes it projected were as if they had come alive.
Qin Wenyuan looked at the joy in Chang Le's eyes and said with a smile: "If Madam is happy, then I will win it for you, husband."
Changle listened to Qin Wenyuan's words, nodded, looked at Qin Wenyuan, and said: "Husband, I believe you."
People on the stage also heard the conversation between Qin Wenyuan and Chang Le. They looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Master, do you want to give it a try?"
Qin Wenyuan nodded, unable to comment, and everyone on the stage also invited Qin Wenyuan to come onto the stage.
The people on the stage looked at the people around them and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to compete?"
The rest of the people who had ink in their stomachs raised their hands one after another. The shopkeeper on the stage selected some people. After those people came on the stage, the shopkeeper revealed the riddle to others.
The first riddle is written: Mandarin ducks play in the water, butterflies fall in love with flowers, I have thousands of tender feelings, who can I blend with in this life, red beans are originally the seeds of lovesickness, they were planted in my heart in the past life, waiting for the fate.
Let’s meet and enjoy spring, summer, autumn and winter together.
The second mystery: I see my sweetheart again on the water, walking alone and alone, it rains because of love, why are we speechless when we meet, we are still lonely when we meet, I only love you in this life, walking alone and unrequited love.
Forever.
The shopkeeper looked at everyone and said: "Guess eight characters for the first lantern riddle, and seven characters for the second riddle."
The people on the stage were stunned when they saw these word puzzles, and the people in the audience also looked at each other. This word puzzle is really a bit difficult.
The shopkeeper looked at everyone's reaction and couldn't help but nodded. It was indeed a puzzle he bought with his daughter.
Qin Wenyuan looked at this word puzzle and touched his chin and thought hard.
Chang Le in the audience also looked at his husband Qin Wenyuan with some worry. After all, this mystery is really difficult.
Anyway, she couldn't see any clues.
Time passed like this minute by minute, and the shopkeeper also enthusiastically asked the people in the audience to join in guessing the word puzzle. At this time, Qin Wenyuan looked at the shopkeeper and said, "I know the answer to this riddle."
After listening to Qin Wenyuan's words, everyone looked at Qin Wenyuan in surprise.
The shopkeeper also widened his eyes and looked at Qin Wenyuan in disbelief. Qin Wenyuan smiled and said: "The answer to the first word puzzle is that we will be in love forever, and the second word puzzle is that I will only love you from now on."
The shopkeeper listened to Qin Wenyuan's words and looked at Qin Wenyuan in surprise. This man was really amazing and he guessed it right.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to say to everyone: "Everyone, this young master's answer is completely correct."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience was in an uproar. No one could figure out what the answer to the riddle had to do with the lantern riddle.
He looked at Qin Wenyuan somewhat unconvinced and said, "You tell me the answer, but what does it have to do with following this thing? What if you talk nonsense?"
After hearing this, the others also responded one after another.
Qin Wenyuan smiled and ignored these questions and said: "Then let me tell you about the first word puzzle. The first sentence is, mandarin ducks are playing in the water. These mandarin ducks are love birds, so naturally they are playing together.
Water is full of love, so the first sentence is love."
"The second sentence is about butterflies falling in love with flowers. To love flowers is to throw oneself into flowers, so the second sentence is about throwing. The third sentence is about "I have thousands of tender feelings. Tenderness is intention, tenderness is sweetness." The third sentence is intention.
"
"The fourth sentence is with whom can we sympathize with each other in this life? Fusion is naturally a union. The fifth sentence is that red beans are originally the seeds of lovesickness. Red beans are planted on the ground, so the fourth sentence is the ground."
"Sixth sentence, the seed from the past life is planted in my heart, and this seed from the past life has been around for a long time, so it is called "Jiu".
"The seventh sentence, waiting for fate to meet each other, the "two people" meet together to form the word "天", the eighth sentence, enjoy spring, summer and autumn and winter together, and spring, summer, autumn and winter refer to a long time, so the explanation is naturally that they are in love with each other.
It’s been a long time.”
After listening to Qin Wenyuan's analysis, everyone immediately realized that they had misunderstood the wrong person. Some scholars on the stage showed shameful faces.
The shopkeeper may only know the answer to the riddle, but if you ask him to explain it, he himself can't explain it.
But I didn't expect Qin Wenyuan to be able to explain it, and it seemed that he was indeed quite capable.
The group of people in the audience listened to Qin Wenyuan's words and immediately guessed the second word puzzle.
The shopkeeper also handed the lantern to Qin Wenyuan. Qin Wenyuan walked off the stage and came to Chang Le's side. He looked at Chang Le and said with a smile: "Madam, our relationship is just like the meaning of the lantern riddle. We are in love with each other and will last forever. My love for you will last forever."
So is the heart."
Chang Le was deeply moved when he heard this sentence, and his eyes also shone with water.
The other young men who gathered around cheered and screamed, and the girls also looked at Chang Le with envy on their faces.
Changle listened to the commotion of these people, took the horse-drawn lantern, looked at Qin Wenyuan with emotion, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, husband."
Qin Wenyuan smiled, took Chang Le's hand and left the crowd. A group of girls looked at the backs of the two walking away hand in hand, with envy on their faces. Meeting such a man would be a life-long regret.
"It's useless for you to envy her. Others can say she's a talented man and a beautiful woman, but we can't envy her."
"Hey, yes, yes, these are really someone else's couple."
"If I could meet a man like that young master just now, I would have no regrets in this life!"
The other girls looked at the girl who said this, and their laughter rippled on the street.
The young men on the other side began to speculate on other answers to the shopkeeper's riddle.
Chang Le here was playing with the lantern in her hand. She turned her head to look at Qin Wenyuan's handsome face and said with a smile: "Husband, I am really happy today."
The two of them were strolling by the lake. Occasionally, the breeze would blow by, and the willow paper strips by the lake would sway with the wind.
Qin Wenyuan looked at Chang Le, smiled, and said: "As long as you are happy, are you tired, madam? Why don't we go rafting?"
Changle looked at the boat on the lake, nodded, and said, "Let's go, husband."
So the two of them boarded a light boat, and the light boat was also decorated according to the Qiqiao Festival. Its bright appearance made Changle feel like he was playing in the daytime.
Qin Wenyuan helped Chang Le sit down beside him. There were pastries and some fruits on the table.
Changle looked at all this and let out a sigh.
Besides Qin Wenyuan, his wife was not feeling well. She looked at Chang Le and said, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"
Changle shook his head, leaned his head on Qin Wenyuan's shoulder, and said slowly: "I grew up in a home since I was a child. I saw limited things and rarely went out to play, let alone these interesting things.
, even the most common ones are not touched."
"Husband, I am really grateful to have met you. The happiness and touch you have brought to me are the most unforgettable things in my life."
After Chang Le said this, he thought of Qin Wenyuan's exchange of drinks when they got married. He was still so serious and said those shy and sweet words to himself with the most serious look.
I just let my heart flutter, and the scene of the hasty marriage has been deeply etched in my mind.
After listening to Chang Le's words, Qin Wenyuan understood in his heart that he should take Chang Le for fun more.
There are so many fun things in this world, so it’s natural to experience them all.
After touching his wife Chang Le's head, he helped Chang Le peel the fruit.
Chang Le leaned on Qin Wenyuan's shoulder, watching Qin Wenyuan's slender hands peeling the fruit, and raised his eyes to see the sparkling lake surface. Everything was so beautiful.
If possible, she really wanted time to stop at this moment without any worries.
On a boat on the other side of the lake, some scholars were gathering here.
A man stood up, looked at the people around him and said, "Everyone, how about we compose a poem now that we have a beautiful view today?"
The other scholars looked at the man who stood up and nodded in agreement.
These people have read poetry and books since childhood, and naturally their favorite thing is to write poetry.
A man stood up, looked at the man who had just spoken, and said, "Brother Li, today happens to be the Qiao Qiao Festival. Why don't we use the theme of love and let everyone write poems?"
Li Zian looked at the man and said, "Brother Jiang Tai said, come on, get your pen and ink ready!"
"Yes, young master." The boy said respectfully.
After the boy finished speaking, he put all the pens, inks, paper and inkstones away, and the scholars all took their seats one after another.
Li Zian looked at the crowd and said, "It only takes one stick of incense to write a poem. When the time comes, just leave all the poems with me."
When he finished saying this, he walked aside and rested directly.
The scholars watched Li Zian rest and then sat there and thought hard.
Jiang Tai also picked up the brush and looked at the white paper, his head running rapidly.
Li Zian has been watching Jiang Tai. After all, Jiang Tai is the most outstanding person among these scholars.
I just don’t know if Jiang Tai can give him a surprise.
Just when Li Zian was looking at Jiang Tai, Jiang Tai had already started writing poems.
Some people looked a little panicked when they saw Jiang Tai writing, especially when others started writing one after another but they had no idea, they looked a little anxious.
On the other side, Jiang Tai had already finished writing. He stood up and walked towards Li Zian.
Li Zian raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, Jiang Tai was the first to finish writing. He flicked another stick of incense. This stick of incense had only burned a quarter.
Jiang Tai placed the poem he wrote in front of Li Zian and sat next to Li Zian.
As for the scholars on the other side, many of them had finished writing and placed their poems in front of Li Zian.
At this time, there was still a small portion left in the stick of incense, and there were still a few scholars present who had not finished writing.
Finally, the last one, all the scholars put down their brushes and headed towards Li Zian.
Li Zian quickly collected the poems, stood up, looked at everyone and said, "Then, I will read everyone's poems, but I won't say who wrote them. After all, everyone's poems are signed. In this way,
, choose the best verse, and when the time comes to find the paper, you will know who wrote it.”
Everyone nodded in agreement and avoided the matter of favor.
Otherwise, if someone has a good relationship with this person and votes deliberately, fairness and justice will be lost.
Li Zian's method is obviously the best.
Li Zian took the poem and began to recite it. A poem was passed from the boat to the ears of Qin Wenyuan and Chang Le.
